What’s next in Ukraine? A 10-day ceasefire in eastern Ukraine expired Monday night, with no immediate word from the country’s president on whether he would extend it, and no sign that the pro-Moscow separatists had met his demands to ease the violence. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko discussed the situation in a phone call with leaders of Russia, Germany and France. He repeatedly said the rebels had not fulfilled the conditions of the ceasefire.
